Hi doctor I got some scars on my face during pregnancy and looked very bad..So then I just started using skin lite cream for months and then I stopped..One of my friend told me to stop using because it's not good for our skin..But some of my scars are still visible..So what should I do now?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have got scars during pregnancy it seems to be due to hormonal changes that occurs during pregnancy..
It is true that skinlite cream can have harmful effects on skin due to presence of steroid in it..
As you still have scars on face you can start washing your face with Glycolic acid and Salicylic acid containing creams on face..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Retinoids like Adapelene can also relieve..
Silicone gel can also be helpful..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can also go for treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peelings..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
